On Weissler’s Conjecture on the Hamming Cube I

Abstract

Abstract Let $1\leq p \leq q <\infty $ and let $w \in \mathbb{C}$. Weissler conjectured that the Hermite operator $e^{w\Delta }$ is bounded as an operator from $L^{p}$ to $L^{q}$ on the Hamming cube $\{-1,1\}^{n}$ with the norm bound independent of $n$ if and only if $$\begin{align*} |p-2-e^{2w}(q-2)|\leq p-|e^{2w}|q. \end{align*}$$It was proved in [ 1], [ 2], and [ 17] in all cases except $2<p\leq q <3$ and $3/2<p\leq q <2$, which stood open until now. The goal of this paper is to give a full proof of Weissler’s conjecture in the case $p=q$. Several applications will be presented.
